Trapper,

Your photo shows the feathers at 6 o'clock, and 12 o'clock.  Are you shooting off the shelf??  Would seem to me the bottom feather would get pretty well beatup!!

they are at about 10:30   4:30, just a tad off from where the bottom feather is in a 3 fletch, cock out configuration

I knocked off one of the three feathers from an aluminum 1913 arrow at a recent 3D shoot and I kept using the arrow.  It was originally 3 fletch 120 degrees apart, right wing feathers, with as much helix as my Bitz would allow.  It flew just as well with one feather missing and the other two 120 degrees apart (240 the other way).  Maybe I'll try 2 fletch 180 degrees apart.

I am really interested in trying this. Questions. On your fletching jig, do you use the 4 fletch thing (can't think of what you call it), or the 3 fletch? Or does it matter? Any other adjustments to make?

I use a 3 fletch.I use the nock index posistion.Attach the feather n flip the arrow instead of turning the jig.
Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.
